“This has just unlocked a memory! I was at this gig. Another band that got a lot of stick but I really liked.”

“I saw Birdland and The Manic Street Preachers here. I remember both were much maligned in the music press but the gigs were brilliant.”

“This was one of the first gigs I went to when I moved to Manchester to go to the Polytechnic. My very vivid memory is of Ian McCulloch standing in front of me with his big hair blocking my view.

It was a brilliant gig. I saw so many great bands during my time there.”
